If we want to age as well as possible, maintain function and strength, and stay independent as we age, there is a key area of our physiology that we need to pay attention to: muscle.
Skeletal muscle is the currency of aging; it’s an essential lever in maintaining optimal metabolic health, reducing body fat, and supporting longevity. And a major piece of building and maintaining muscle is protein consumption—which is often a controversial topic in the nutrition space. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon about the science of muscle mass, protein sources, and healthy aging and how we can all pay attention to these things in our daily lives.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a Washington University fellowship-trained physician in Nutritional Science and Geriatrics and is board certified in Family Medicine. She is the founder of the Institute for Muscle Centric-Medicine™ and has a private practice that services the leaders, innovators, mavericks, and executives in their prospective fields. In addition, Dr. Lyon also works closely with Special Operations Military. Her goal is to change the paradigm of medicine from obesity-focused to muscle-centric and change the way we think about health and medicine with high scientific integrity.

0:00.0 | Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy. |
0:03.6 | Those individuals that have a higher protein breakfast are much less likely to crave later on in the day and or go to the high-satiety, highly palatable foods like you had mentioned for breakfast like the French toast and the doughnuts later on in the three o'clock afternoon when everyone is going for it. |
0:19.8 | Hey everybody, it's Dr. Mark. It's hard to overstate how important magnesium is for all aspects of our health. There's a long list of symptoms and diseases that can be treated or even cured with magnesium. It's my favorite mineral. |
0:33.8 | In fact, way back when I was an ER doc, magnesium was a critical element of our care. We used it to treat all sorts of things like rhythmias, to constipation, to pre-clampsia even seizures in pregnant women. |
0:44.8 | So it's really essential to our health and well-being and yet over 80% of the population doesn't get enough magnesium on a regular basis and 45% are probably really deficient. |
0:53.8 | Now this is a problem because magnesium deficiency can increase your risk of all diseases and keep you from performing optimally. |
0:59.8 | But even more critically, there's not just one type of magnesium. There are seven different types that we need in our diet to ensure both our health and our mortality remains strong. |
1:08.8 | I'm normally a big advocate of getting as many of your nutrients as you can through a well-balanced diet. But in this case, it's almost impossible to get magnesium through your food alone because our soil is overworked and minerals are pleated and we don't have enough organic matter to extract the minerals like magnesium from the soil. So it's a problem. |
1:24.8 | Fortunately, bioptimizers has a solution. The magnesium breakthrough supplement is the only product in the market with all seven types of magnesium. |
1:31.8 | And it's specially formulated to reach every tissue in your body to provide maximum health benefits. Bioptimizers, magnesium breakthrough gives you access to the full spectrum of magnesium, which can dramatically improve your overall health from reducing stress to improving sleep and boosting your energy levels. |
1:46.8 | From now until November 29th, bioptimizers has a special offer of 25% of all their products. Just go to bioptimizers.com, 4-SUS-HIMIS, BIO-P-T-I-M-I-Z-E-R-S dot com, 4-SUS-HIMIN, and enter the code Dr. Hyman, DRHY-MAN, to activate this exclusive offer, which is only for limited time. |
2:06.8 | I know a lot of you out there are practitioners like me helping patients heal using real food and functional medicine as your framework for getting to the root cause. |
2:15.8 | What's critical to understanding what each individual person in body needs is testing, which is why I'm excited to tell you about Rupa Health. |
2:23.8 | Looking at hormones, organic acids, nutrient levels, inflammatory factors, gut bacteria, and so many other internal variables can help us find the most effective path to optimize health and reverse disease. |
2:36.8 | Up till now, that menu is usually ordering tests for one patient from multiple labs. I'm sure many of you can relate how time consuming this process was, and then it could all feel like a lot of work to keep track of. |
2:47.8 | Now there's Rupa Health, a place for functional medicine practitioners to access more than 2000s, especially labs from over 20 labs like Dutch, Fiber, and America, Genoa, Great Plains, and more. |
2:58.8 | Rupa Health helped provide a significantly better patient experience and it's 90% faster, letting you simplify the entire process of getting the functional medicine labs tests you need and giving you more time to focus on patients. |
3:11.8 | This is really a much needed option to functional medicine space and I'm so excited about it. It means better service for you and your patients. |
3:18.8 | You can check it out and look at a free live demo with a Q&A or create an account at Rupa Health dot com that's R-U-P-A-Health dot com. Now let's get back to this week's episode of the Doctors Pharmacy. |
3:36.8 | Welcome to Doctors Pharmacy. I'm Dr. Mark Heim and that's pharmacy within F a place for conversations that matter. |
3:41.8 | And if you ever worried about maintaining your function as you get older, about avoiding the disease of aging, about living to 120 and being able to do whatever you want. |
